Human Sacrifice: A Shocking Expose of Ritual Killing Worldwide
by Jimmy Lee Shreeve
informative
fast-paced
This book takes a look at the psychology behind various cultures and religions and their use of human sacrifice. Of course, this book speaks heavily on Satanism, but there are a lot of other religions throughout history that used human sacrifice for various purposes. Two negative things I have to say about this book are:
1. This is very short, and not as comprehensive as I had hoped.
2. While I do not support human sacrifice, there were times that the author seemed a bit condescending towards people who practiced this.
This book is currently available to listen to on the Audible Plus catalog, which is the version that I had. This book appealed to be from an anthropological perspective. There are a lot of cultures and religions that have used human sacrifice for various reasons. I appreciated that this book took a look at why groups of people utilized this method. I really enjoyed this book, and other books like it. Learning about cultures and religions is very enjoyable to me. If you are into that subject, this is an okay selection, though it is short and doesn't go as in depth on things and I would have liked.
